June 3, 2025- Healthmark announces the launch of SafeGuard Dry, a sterilization wrap purpose-built to combat one of the most persistent challenges in Sterile Processing Departments (SPDs): wet packs.
Featuring an innovative dual-layer design, SafeGuard Dry combines an absorbent wetlaid material with a fluid-resistant SMS barrier, working together to reduce retained moisture in wrapped instrument sets post-sterilization. Optimized for both steam and EO sterilization, this lightweight yet durable wrap maintains sterility during storage and transport, and helps prevent costly processing delays.
“Wet packs disrupt workflows, delay surgeries, and put patient safety at risk,” said Kevin Anderson, RN, Sr. Manager, Commercial Education Services at Healthmark. “SafeGuard Dry is designed specifically to solve this problem—unlike general-purpose wraps—so technicians can be confident their instruments are both dry and sterile.”
SafeGuard Dry offers a reliable solution for departments struggling with recurring moisture issues. With standard sizes and compliance with AAMI ST79’s simultaneous wrapping standards, it’s built for performance without complexity. As Healthmark expands its presence in sterile packaging, SafeGuard Dry sets the foundation for a growing platform of solutions—with additional innovations on the horizon. “SafeGuard Dry represents a strategic expansion of our sterilization consumables,” said Chris Turner, Head of Sales and Marketing at Healthmark. “We’re not just entering the wrap market—we’re elevating it.”
